It's almost time for the 2011 Winnipeg Fringe Festival, and like last year, I've compiled a list of shows that have caught my eye. Most of them are playing throughout the week-and-a-half the festival is going, but I'll be trying to nail dow

Getting together with a couple friends at a coffee shop, we collaboratively make a Dungeons And Dragons setting right straight out of the madcap imaginations of Doyle, Burroughs, Haggard, and Conrad.
